As part of an ongoing effort to reduce the number of problems in the FreeBSD ports system, we periodically schedule removal of ports that have been judged to have outlived their usefulness. Often, this is due to a better alternative having become available and/or the cessation of development on the existing port. In some cases, ports are marked for removal because they fail to build and install correctly from their sources, or otherwise fail in operation.
The ports, and the reason and date that they have been scheduled for removal, are listed below. If no one has stepped forward before that time to propose a way to fix the problems (such as via a PR), the ports will be deleted. portname: databases/ruby-interbase description: Ruby interface to Firebird/Interbase library maintainer: [email protected] status: BROKEN deprecated because: Does not work with Ruby 1.9 expiration date: 2013-05-02 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=databases&portname=ruby-interbase portname: devel/ppl description: The Parma Polyhedra Library maintainer: [email protected] status: BROKEN deprecated because: obsolete version; fails to build expiration date: 2013-09-21 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=devel&portname=ppl portname: devel/rubygem-zoom description: A Ruby binding to the Z39.50 Object-Orientation Model (ZOOM) maintainer: [email protected] status: BROKEN deprecated because: Does not work with Ruby 1.9 expiration date: 2013-05-02 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=devel&portname=rubygem-zoom portname: net-im/jabber-pymsn description: Python MSN-Transport for Jabber maintainer: [email protected] deprecated because: Primary MSN Messenger service terminated 30 APR 2013 expiration date: 2013-10-31 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=net-im&portname=jabber-pymsn portname: net-im/p5-Net-MSN description: Net::MSN interface maintainer: [email protected] deprecated because: Primary MSN Messenger service terminated 30 APR 2013 expiration date: 2013-10-31 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=net-im&portname=p5-Net-MSN portname: net-im/py-msnp description: MSN messaging in Python maintainer: [email protected] deprecated because: Primary MSN Messenger service terminated 30 APR 2013 expiration date: 2013-10-31 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=net-im&portname=py-msnp portname: net-im/pymsn description: MSN Connection library maintainer: [email protected] deprecated because: Primary MSN Messenger service terminated 30 APR 2013 expiration date: 2013-10-31 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=net-im&portname=pymsn portname: ports-mgmt/pkg_replace description: Utility for upgrading installed packages maintainer: [email protected] deprecated because: Abandoned upstream, does not support pkgng.
